Can it really be called desperation when it is a complete luxury item? Not so sure about that.



I wouldn't call a ps5 a luxury item.  Just like smartphones (which we definitely don't need to survive), a ps5 would be considered a normal household item for people in a first world country.

Got 2 agree there, if u got 15 for a ps5 ur probably pretty secure in other areas.  Or have terrible money management lol



I wasn't so much talking about the guy who is willing to pay $1500.  I'm talking about people that find it hard enough to pay the recommended retail price, let alone having to find extra money to pay the scalpers.

They should have thrown down for a preorder.  That's how shit goes

:justdontknow:

Also it's mostly on Sony for not imposing a three console limit (or something like that) on billing addresses.  This would have made it infinitely  harder for the guys tryna buy 20 of em.  Getting em from 20 diff places ?  Not too hard.  Getting twenty different billing addresses for preorders?  Yeah right, then everyone could have had a ps5.  I Hate Sony, not the players of the game.  Sony is fucked bc they would have literally made the same $$$$ either way, they just don't care. Hel they could have jacked the msrp and it would have been more fair

When the pandemic first started, I thought that the PS5 and Xbox Series X was going to be delayed to sometime in 2021.  It seems like they wanted to still go ahead but obviously they couldn't produce as much stock due to covid-19 restrictions.  Sony and other companies definitely should have done things different, so yes they are part of the problem.  Most companies want customers and happy ones at that, so while they might not care care, they still would have to care somewhat or else they'll lose customers and in the end money.

Anyway I hope Cracked Egg doesn't try to get thousands for his PS5, but it's a free world so he can do whatever he wants.

Finally, a video on the subject of scalpers.

i almost drove an hour away to buy a ps5 from a walmart tonight but decided against it because there wasnt a guarantee i would get one. internet said walmart was putting some stock on the shelf today (in-store only, no online) and tomorrow. i used brickseek to check inventory and it said limited..

but i passed on it. 1st gen, new releases are always a little buggy and i feel like i should just wait until 2nd gen comes out. plus i have tons of games ive yet to play (ps4 and x1)

My guy.. I got you. I'll get a ps5 in your hands before Christmas!

I'm also going to hook you up with that membership discount.

350.00 for the console. 50.00 for the controller. I'll throw in the game for free. And then of course 2000.00 for shipping. Lmk how you want to pay.

All bullshit aside, I should have waited for the second gen as well, but my dumb ass told everyone under the sun that I will be getting a ps5 when it first drops. I talked about it for at least a year. Considering I'm a man of my word, I couldn't not get one. How lame would I have looked if I didn't get one.

:facepalm:
